A useful test to see whether radiation causes the loss, would be to completely screen the loading coil. I have never understood why, if the current is thought to stay the same from top to bottom of a

Hello Dick, Mike it is indeed a "phase thing". If a 100 W TX causes a 2 A current in a 5mH coil (XL = 4270 Ohm) and thus causes a voltage of 8540 V over the coil then at the "hot" end the phase diffe
Exactly if the current were the same than you would have a perpetual motion machine where more power is coming out than is going in. the coil is ,, in the simple case,, acting as a transformer matchi
To All from PA0SE Rik is right of course. I had overlooked the fact that the voltage over the coil is almost 90 degrees out of phase with the voltage out of the transmitter. So the two voltages canno
